Could someone please tell me what would be a good size intercooler for an NA running low boost (5-6psi)? Could you please give me dimensions to work off and inlet/outlet size. Thanks alot.

A 280x300x75 Ebay intercooler is perfect for that. I think they are 2.5 inch inlet and outlet. A silicon 2.5 to 2 inch reducer on the turbo side will be spot on there.

a few of us have bought the CoolingPro 550x140x65 INTERCOOLER WITH 2.25 INCH INLETS from JustJap for our NA's.
also, mx5racing has one of these fitted to his NB SE racecar and he likes it.
if you're not in a hurry, i MIGHT be selling mine in a month or so (brand new , never fitted) as i scored an AVO intercooler recently. altho i might decide to bundle a turbo and manifold and fuelling computer + injector with it and sell it all off in one hit.

Cheers guys...Yeah I was looking at some cheap cooling pro ones. Thanks Fuzzlet will do and Yes I do have a/c and p/s and I want to keep my a/c so custom piping is a must.
Thanks for all the help so far

Hmmm power steering will make the piping harder. Daniel commented on the lack of power steering meant that getting the piping from the turbo to the IC was a lot easier, as the power steering pump gets in the way, so makes working the pipes a bitch

How does 300x225x55 sound? Would that be big enough but not to big?

It is much better than the cooler that comes with GReddy kit...
Maybe on the small side, but you are only going to be running low boost as you say... It should do, and that size will be easier to fit I think.
